Save Empire Earth

So, i've seen in yukon's stream, that his lobby is on actual 1920x1080 and not a stretched 1280x1024.How can i do that aswell, as this stretching is really unpleasant.
Also, how do i make zoom, go even more zoom out?

Go to Empire Earth folder, find dreXmod.config and open this in notepad. This will show up:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>

<Camera>
<Enabled>false</Enabled>

<MaxZ>14</MaxZ>

To have zoom out enabled, make sure it says true. Also add a higher number to get more zoom, like 30 for example.
Multiplayer lobby you see further down in MenuSettings. Of course be careful here to only change to something that actually works. It would be a good idea to first copy this file and save it somewhere else as a backup.

yo,
thank you kaz for you answer.
Just a quick comment on the drexmod.config file.
This file was created for users, it does not contain any internal critical parameters. you can even delete it, drexmod continue to work

You can modify / customize all the values you want. be careful to camera settings, a high value for MAXZ or FOV could cause a crash.
There are 5 main sections : Camera, ScenarioHosting, MenuSettings, HUDPlayers, GamePlayersExtension.

"MenuSettings" is what you are looking for. it's disabled by default.

you turn on a feature by changing the value to <Enabled>true</Enabled> in related section (exactly true, not True, not TRUE)
you turn it off by changing the value to <Enabled>false</Enabled>
